Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has asked the U.S. government to “rectify its erratic harassment policy” towards his country and claimed he was not anti-American despite his frequent diatribes against the United States.

In comments Tuesday at an appearance at the Hostos Community College in New York City’s Bronx neighborhood, Maduro said that he was attending the U.N. General Assembly for the first time to “bring the whole truth” about Venezuela. “Our revolution has not collapsed nor is it going to collapse,” Maduro said. He added that although he initially had doubts about attending the General Assembly, he decided to go ahead after reading critical editorials about his policy in two of the most important U.S. newspapers, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
